The National Environmental Action Network (NEAN) is working to promote environmental justice.

The Virginia-based nonprofit is expanding its efforts to educate the public about the health impacts of toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, polychlorinated biphenyls, heavy metals and synthetic pesticides.

Lewis Brown, the CEO and founder of NEAN, was a featured guest on Monday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
